When Earnings Slow, Where’s the Bottom?

Hello friends. I hope this post finds you doing really well. Summer is quickly approaching here in the deep south. Temperatures around our town are already hitting the 90+ degree level. It’s “hot” today — and humid!

The stock market surely isn’t hot at this time. As you know, it’s in a tailspin. Many stock market pundits have that “deer in the headlights” look about them as they scramble to forward their opinions as to “what’s next for the stock market,” or “where’s the bottom,” etc. […]

All Over the Place

In thinking about today’s post, I was pondering what’s ahead for our strong yet strange stock market. Doing some reading, a certain article sort of stood out as saying the answer to “what’s ahead?” is simply “all over the place.” My blog today is very brief as it simply shares a link to that article . Maybe you’ll come away with something different than my sense of “all over the place” but I guess if you ponder an impossible question, this is the kind of answer to expect😒. Go here to read the article and have a great weekend, friends.

Earnings, Earnings, Earnings!

One of the great blessings derived from writing my book has been the many friends I’ve made. Friendship is such a blessing! One dear friend, David, corresponds with me from time to time and he wrote me this past week with a question. At the conclusion of the discussion, he suggested that maybe I use the conversation as the content of a blog post. David beat me to it in that I was going to ask him about sharing the matter in a blog post. Thanks, David! […]
